vivo X20 and X20 Plus unveiled with 18:9 Full View screens, Snapdragon 660
Today vivo took the wraps off its latest creations, the X20 and X20 Plus. The X9s and X9s Plus
are only a few months old but we already get newer, shinier members of
the X family to gawk at - and they do contain almost all the bells and
whistles you'd expect from a high-end smartphone in late 2017.
Full View, near bezel-less screens with 18:9 aspect ratio? Check.
Dual rear cameras? Check. As usual with vivo's X line, the main
differences between the normal model and the Plus option are to be found
in display and battery size - most specs are shared.
The vivo X20 sports a 6.01-inch 1,080x2,160 Super AMOLED touchscreen,
and comes with a 24 MP + 5 MP dual rear camera setup. A 24 MP selfie
camera is on the front, while the fingerprint scanner moved to the back
because it couldn't fit elsewhere what with the tiny display bezels and
all.
At the helm we find Qualcomm's upper-midrange Snapdragon 660 SoC,
with a 2.2 GHz octa-core CPU - and this seems to be the one aspect
keeping the new vivo handsets out of true flagship territory. 4GB of RAM
come standard alongside 64GB of storage, and the X20 has a 3,245 mAh
battery. It runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
The X20 Plus has a 6.43-inch Super AMOLED panel of the same
resolution, and a beefier 3,905 mAh battery to go with that. The X20
measures 155.85 x 75.15 x 7.2 mm, and weighs 159g, while the X20 Plus
comes in at 165.32 x 80.09 x 7.45 mm and 181.5g.
Both phones will be up for pre-booking on September 25, with sales
starting on September 30. The X20 is priced at CNY 2,998 ($454 or €381
at the current exchange rates). The X20 Plus will cost CNY 3,498 ($530
or €444). Both models will be offered in gold, rose gold, and black. As
usual with vivo devices, it's unclear if or when they will be officially
sold outside of China.
